Biography
Anthony Nutting was born in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, England in 1920, and he was educated at Eton College and Trinity College, Cambridge, where he studied agriculture. He was invalided from the Leicestershire Yeomanry before World War II due to his asthma, and he entered the Foreign Service; both of his older brothers were killed on active duty during the war. In 1945, he was elected MP for Melton in Leicestershire, and he became a Privy Councillor in 1954. Nutting was a member of a new generation of moderate, inclusive, and internationalist Conservative Party figures, and he opposed Prime Minister Anthony Eden's deceit during the Suez Crisis of 1956, leading to his resignation as State Minister for Foreign Affairs. In his later years, he wrote histories, hunted foxes in Shropshire, and farmed in Scotland, and he died in 1999.
